Enhanced security measures to the US

Statement from TUI & First Choice regarding new US government airline security measures for outbound flights to the US from the UK, effective 19th July 2017

We would like to let customers know about increased security measures when travelling to the US in line with a directive from the US government.

Customers who are boarding flights to the US may be requested to have additional checks on their electronic devices by airport security personnel. The electronic devices which may be subject to these additional checks include any phones larger than 16cm in length, 9.3cm in width and 1.5cm in depth), laptops, tablets, e-readers, power cables and their transformers. For TUI and First Choice this only affects customers travelling on outbound flights to the US from the UK. If you have any concerns with any of your devices we would advise that you either leave these items at home or place these items into your hold luggage.

Please be aware that batteries and power banks cannot be carried in your hold luggage, and will have to be carried in your hand luggage.

Please also note that when airport security personnel check your devices they may be confiscated or destroyed if they show any signs of the below:

- internal or external damage to the device

- device having been tampered with

- if the device cannot be removed from a protective case

- if the device triggers the explosives trace detection alarm

We would like to thank customers for their patience and understanding at this time as we continue to put the safety of everyone travelling with us first.
